46442: Tha sinn uile an diugh fo bhròn
This song was written by Donald Macphail, 19 Southside Gravir, who as a young man was too ill to join up during the Great War. His friends who had joined the Army and Navy were constantly in his thoughts; he died in 1916 at the age of 24. These verses from the song are recalled by Calum Macmillan:
Tha sinn uile an diugh fo bhròn
Tha sinn muladach gu leor
Deannamh ionndrain air na seoid
A bha a’ còmhnuidh maille rinn
O tha sinn uile an diugh fo bhròn
Nuair thainig cùisean gu bhi garbh
Chaidh ‘Reserve’ na mara a ghairm
Annta chuir an rioghachd earbs
Gu Uilleam Borb a lagachadh
Tha sinn uile an diugh fo bhròn
O nathair cogaidh lion do bhrù
Casg do thairt le fuil nan laoch
Tha Kaisear Uilleam leat an gaol
`S cha leig e sgios no acras ort
Tha sinn uile an diugh fo bhròn
